AN: Alright, so first, let me apologize for the wait on an update. We had some flooding issues, and the area I live in was blocked off due to massive amounts of water on the roads. It was probably about knee deep, if not more. Secondly, I want to thank all of you who have stuck with this story so far. I very much appreciate it. But enough of hearing me ramble on and on, and let's get on with this story. Without further interruption, here is the next chapter of We're Friends, Reluctantly.

As a wise, little, green man once said, "Own Victorious, I do not." I as well don't own Yoda, though that would be awesome.

Chapter 4 (Part One)

Robbie's POV

I just stood there, slightly shell shocked from the exchange that had just taken place between Jade and me. There was no telling how much time passed since she left that I just sat and stared at nothing. Seeing Jade like that is a rare occurrence for just about anyone, especially when you're that nerd with the puppet.

I eventually decided to just push those thoughts away for now, and I went back to playing my guitar. I glanced at my watch, and I saw that it was about two in the afternoon. I had school the next day, and I had a decent bit of work to do before if I wanted to stay ahead of my classes, so I put the guitar down, went over to my desk, and I started on my math.

Finally, a few hours later, I was satisfied with the amount of work I had done. All of a sudden I hear my dad's voice boom from downstairs.

"Robbie! Dinner is ready!"

"I'll be right down, Dad."

I went downstairs, helped set the table, and we both sat down to eat. Dinner was good for the first few minutes, and then my dad decided to make ask about something that I had been trying to not think about all day.

"So Robbie, who was that girl who came looking for you earlier?"

"Umm, that was Jade."

I knew I shouldn't have sat directly across from him, because after I said that, my father did a spit take and I was covered in soda.

"Oh, I'm sorry Robbie", he said as he handed me some paper towels for me to wipe my face off with, "You mean that was Jade West, your friend from when you were kids?"

"Yep, that was her."

"What happened to her? She looks so dark and creepy now."

I sighed loudly, "Yeah, she changed a little bit after mom died and she changed schools."

I really didn't want to talk about this, at least not right now. But I knew that sooner or later, I had to talk to someone about it, and I would rather that someone be my dad rather than someone from school.

"What did she want?"

"She just wanted to talk to me about something that happened the other night."

My father just nodded, and the rest of dinner went on in silence. I cleaned the dishes, and headed upstairs to make sure I had everything I needed before school tomorrow. After I got all my books and notes back into my backpack, and took a shower, it was getting close to nine. I turned my TV on and decided to play some Call of Duty with Rex, which got old after 3 straight rounds of me losing and Rex saying some very hurtful things to me.

I decided to call it an early night. Tomorrow was going to be a strange day, as it would be the first time the gang was together since the night at Tori's. Within minutes my eyes closed, and sleep began to take over me.

Jade's POV (Flashback to earlier that day)

The car ride back from Robbie's house was boring. My radio did not work for some reason, so I was riding in silence. About three blocks from my house, I began to crave some coffee, so instead of going home, I decided to go to a café in downtown. I pulled into the parking lot five minutes later, and opened the door. It was at this moment that I instantly regretted coming, because when I look up, I saw Beck standing in line ordering something at the register.

"What is he doing here?"

I made sure he couldn't see me, and I watched him. He gave the cashier his money, and a minute later, he got his coffee. That's when I looked to where he about to sit down and I saw something that turned that regret into anger.

Beck was here, and he was with Vega.

So there you have it. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this chapter. Things seemed to be a little difficult this go around. If you have any input that could help me out, please don't be shy about it. Let me know.
